Introduction:

These lessons are geared for younger students. Many lessons will, however,
have activities for the older student. Parents/teachers will easily find
answers to questions in the text, and should prepare themselves by reading
the stated pages prior to having the student read the weekly assignment.
If a child is not able to read yet, this is still a good book, and parents/teachers
may read to the student. We have testimonies from parents of children
as young as four years old who have enjoyed listening to the story in
this book. There is truth to be learned from this story and that is the
purpose of these lessons.

Further, we realize that while we suggest a certain number of pages for
each lesson, children may want to hear the entire story and not wait for
the six weeks it will take to get through the first set of lessons. It
is okay to read the entire story to the children (Chapters 1–5). Rereading
those pages as you and your children work through the lessons will only
reinforce the truths contained in the book.
